I was there in Dubai with her for her make-up at Mohit Marwah’s (her nephew) marriage. Subhash Shinde, who did Sridevi’s make-up at actor Mohit Marwah’s marriage in Dubai last week, says that the late actress had “so much warmth and positivity” and always treated everyone, including make-up artistes, present on a film’s set like family.

I am still in shock,” Shinde told IANS.
